Excellent Guide for Practice in the ED
This is a great book for those new to the field of pharmacy practice in the ED or those looking to improve their practice in the ED. It has made my transition into ED practice a much smoother one. By having read ahead of time about where errors in the ED tend to occur it was easier to anticipate where I could make interventions. Sections I have gone back to several times are the toxicology chapter and the quick reference tables in the appendix.

Essential Reference for ER Healthcare Workers
Safe and Effective Medication Use in the Emergency Department is an essential addition to the library of any health care worker in the emergency department. It outlines specific practices that not only will increase the efficiency of the pharmacist but helps the ER to implement a program for the clinical pharmacist. It can also help any pharmacist or pharmacy student decide whether or not a career or residency in the ER would be right for their specific personality. If you are already practicing in the ER it gives many ideas on how to expand upon the services that the ED already offers. I would highly recommend this book because it has been a tremendous reference in helping me transition from a pharmacy student to a pharmacist working in the ER.

A step-by-step guide to improving pharmacy services in the ED
I just finished reading the book, Safe and Effective Medication Use in the Emergency Department and I must say it is very well written, detailed, and usable. I was very impressed with how comprehensive it was in explaining every aspect of pharmacist involvement in the ED. I especially enjoyed how frequently the book gives real world examples of the author's own work site as a way of showing how good concepts become practice. The book is nothing short of a step-by-step guide on how to be a pharmacist in the emergency department. This is a must read for any pharmacist interested in ED pharmacy whether you are new to the profession or a seasoned professional, there is a great deal of experience and knowledge contained in this publication. The topics have already been essential to my own practice.

Examination Review for Ultrasound
I was highly impressed with the layout of this review book. I like the way there are charts in each chapter that provide a summary of the key points. The review questions, at the end of each chapter, provide real world scenarios in which we may come across as a Sonographer. In addition, it comes with online access so that you can take mock registry exams; which is great practice for students.

Steven Penny U/S Exam Review Book
Great book! The easily understandable descriptions of both normal and abnormal anatomy along with helpful charts, study questions, and ultrasound images makes this book a great way to review and prepare for both the Abd and OB/GYN ultrasound registry exams.

Coloproctology

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：
Coloproctology is a surgical specialty which dynamically changes every few years. There is a profusion of colorectal textbooks but specialty series on particularly complex topics as well as on the specialized management approach for trainees and training colorectal surgeons are actually few. The aim of this text is a superior quality colorectal book written by world experts targeted at senior surgical and colorectal trainees and young consultant coloproctologists in current areas of subspecialty expertise. The structure of the chapters is current and is based on what does not appear and is not addressed in current colorectal textbooks. This series has proven useful in areas already represented, including Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery, Transplantation Surgery, etc. The text is aimed at being relatively didactic with an algorithm approach to specialized areas within coloproctology which could potentially be updated every 3 years or so with new topics to create a set for didactic training in colorectal surgery. It is anticipated that these texts will become valuable teaching textbooks and part of every coloproctologist’s armamentarium as well as appealing to all general surgeons and surgical trainees engaged in complex elective and emergency colorectal surgery.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

very useful in bedside teaching
I recommended this book because I found it is very useful in bedside teaching, for CR and fellow. It focus on something that are interesting only by colorectal surgeon /proctologist. Though it is not a textbook, I also recommended this for fellow/young attending. The book is writing by many authors, bibliography as listed in Amazon web. Anyway, the writing style is friendly reading. The cited references are up-to-date. And even the long term results were well collected. For example, the long term result of glue for anal fistula is not as good as initial report. For example, the BRAF/KRAS gene mutation related with CIMP. For example, the debate on surgical timing of sigmoid diverticulitis. But, this also makes it not a textbook level for junior residents, because they have no ideas of those trials/meta-analysis reports. They may miss in the tables or flow chart, without supervised. The only disadvantage that I could find are lacking of robotic surgery/single-port/NOTEs comments, lacking of anal fistula ligation introduction, lacking of colonoscopy screening policy changing since last year. Reading this book bring me a lot of fun.
